Hello Listers; Just an update on the yDNA testing. There have been samples tested now from one male member of each of three lines: Samuel Vasey = Mary____ John Vasey = Cordelia Price Joel Vasey= Hannah Pearson The results are that no two lines are a close match. Adoption, or different father than stated at any point in the ancestry might have impact on the results, so more volunteers are needed for yDNA sampling to be conclusive, but at this time it appears we have three distinct Vasey Families in Bucks county in the early 1800s. Testing only requires that one swab one's mouth with a couple of Q-tips. If you're a Vasey male and you'd like to volunteer a sample, please contact me off list. Carol T.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Isaac THOMPSON which was taken at the W. E. Bain Studio which I believe was in Illinois. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's with Mr. THOMPSON appearing to be in his 80's at the time the photograph was taken. In addition to his name, someone has written "born Nov 18th 1796" and "A Merry Xmas and Happy New Year" on the back of the photograph. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding Isaac and his family: Isaac THOMPSON b. 18 Nov 1796 in Pittston, PA the son of James THOMPSON (b. 4 Jan 1759 in Ireland) and Susannah Jane SKELTON (b. 17 Aug 1750 in Buckingham, PA). Isaac married Mariah "Maria" WILCOX (b. Beekman, NY) on 18 Jun 1818. Isaac died 29 Sept 1900 in Lee, IL. Isaac and Maria had the following children, Matilda; Jane; Almon; Alva D.; Ezekial G.; Isaac; David; William H.; John W.; Francis Ashbury; George L.; Rhoda S.; and Gardner W. THOMPSON all born between 1819 and 1841 in PA. Census records provide the following information regarding this family: 1860 census of Pittston Boro, PA: Isaac THOMPSON, age 63, a Farmer, born PA Maria THOMPSON, age 61, a Housekeeper, born NY Eliza THOMPSON, age 30, a School Teacher, born NY Gardner W.
